Review by Matt S. No More Heroes 1 & 2 was a surprise drop on the Nintendo Switch last week. It makes sense that they would make their way to the console, given that Goichi Suda is gearing up to the big release of No More Heroes 3 soon enough.…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Who wouldn’t want the opportunity to run a zoo full of dinosaurs? I mean, assuming that you could manage it in a way that doesn’t turn to hell (a la the Jurassic Park films). I remember being enamoured to a Game Boy Advance title, called Jurassic…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Clea is the kind of game that you’ll want to champion, because it is clearly a labour of love deal. It’s the product of a largely one-man Aussie indie developer, and it comes with a strong vision, some lovely aesthetics, and all the right ideas. It’s…

Happinet decided to revive Brigandine, a somewhat forgotten “classic” from the PlayStation 1 era for the modern audience. Sporting a new narrative and some truly gorgeous art, it greatly impressed us on its original…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Transformers: Battlegrounds is one of the best things to happen to the property in years. That’s not entirely a glowing recommendation, since the Transformers property has been driven into the dirt thanks to those movies and games from publishers like Activision, so the bar has been…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. LUNA The Shadow Dust bears more than a little similarity to one of my favourite games of all time, Gorogoa. The hand-drawn, colourful art styles and surreal, dreamlike narratives of both games are enchanting and memorable, which is why I thought I’d love LUNA just as…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The Red Lantern is exactly what is wrong with the content-first obsession that the game industry has.
